How these numbers are calculated
  • Powder day — at least 15cm of new snow in 24 hours.
  • Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 10cm of snow over the previous 3 days.
  • Rain day — at least 1mm of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
  • Skiable day — at least 30cm of settled snow on the ground.
  • Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 1555m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Is Brauneck a good place to ski or board?

the base does not get especially deepit sees more rain than mostthe season is shorter than average

On 10 years of record, Brauneck is a mixed picture: the base does not get especially deep, it sees more rain than most and the season is shorter than average. It can still ski well in a good year — 2018/19 produced 450cm — but the averages argue for flexibility on timing.

Figures are modelled at 1555m from reanalysis data and describe an average year, not a forecast.

Brauneck snow record in detail

How much snow does Brauneck get?

Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2018/19 with 450cm, and the leanest was 2024/25 with 179cm — a difference of 271cm between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 208cm.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 76cm and 12 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Brauneck?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Brauneck the snowpack peaks at an average of 63cm each season. That is below average, deeper than 28% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 84cm.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 38cm through the month and topping out around 53cm in a typical year.

How many powder days does Brauneck get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 15cm of new snow, Brauneck averages 2 powder days a season. That is about average, more powder days than 43% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

January has the most, 1.1 on average.

How often does Brauneck get bluebird days?

Brauneck averages 11 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 10cm or more of fresh snow. That is above average, more than 63% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

December is the best month for it, averaging 2.1 bluebird days and 4.8 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Brauneck?

At mid-mountain Brauneck sees an average of 66 days a season with 1mm or more of rain rather than snow. That is well above average: 100% of the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way see fewer wet days, against a median of 32.

May is the wettest month of the season, with 20.0 rain days and 190mm on average.

When is the best time to ski or board Brauneck, and when does the season end?

Brauneck typically holds at least 30cm of settled snow from around 10 January through to 15 February, which works out at roughly 37 days of skiable cover in an average year. 49 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is well below average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

For the deepest base, go in February; for the most new snow, January; for fresh snow with sunshine, December.
